Project idea

Based on the concepts established by Andrade Junior (2006), we sought to establish relations of consonance and dissonance with the surroundings, which resulted in a contemporary architecture that integrates with the pre-existing landscape.

Project description

The proposal revitalizes and respects the pre-existing single-story ruin, proposing a new use for it, by expanding the building square footage to house new commercial spaces and residential studios, guaranteeing the flow of people and constant activity to the building.

Technical information

White concrete panels, solid wood slats, steel structural system, ceramic roof tiles, corten steel details.
